Gopher Nz Auckland City
Complaint #: 47
Pushy salespeople 
Approached by Gopher's salespeople on several occasions even after advising them that we couldn't afford their website.
I tried to tell them that we are a small Business with a small turnover repeatedly.
I felt I was backed into a corner with the repeated phone calls and tactics.
I am now faced with a Debt Collectors letter
so will be following up with my Lawyer.

So sorry to hear that. These guys are real scum. Just look at the other two complaints here. They'll do anything to con hard working business owners. Their site gets less and less traffic now (just look them up at Alexa.com).
Perhaps you should tell your lawyer about the other complaints here against them plus dozens others on the web. All the best.

Gopher have ripped me off as well. I started with a 6 month contract of a small package over 12 months ago that suited my small business budget. Within the first month of the contract they called me back and somehow managed to talk me into upgrading to a better package at a greater cost and started a new contract for 12 months.
Then a few months later, the same thing happened and upgraded again with a new 12 month contract. They tell me that upgrading will allow my add to get more clicks and I will most likely get my money returned by successful sales of my products.
By now I am now paying $1000 per month. A bit beyond my budget and I am not getting more than $1000 in return of sales, so it is draining my money!
They even tried to talk me into upgrading to an ultimate package that would cost me about $3500 per month, but they were guaranteeing 100% listing of my add and always at the top, etc...
I agreed to that offer after being talked into it, but I then cancelled within the 5 day termination period, even though they did there best to talk me into staying with the contract because they had already started working on it had had spent several hours of their time working on it. They even tried to offer me special discounts to keep the contract. After having had said "NO" over 10 times, they finally accepted.
I also question why I am paying $1000 per month when my report says only ~$600 worth of clicks was spent. That figure may vary per month, but I am paying Gopher $1000 per month, so where is all the rest of my money going? Am I giving it to Gopher for free?
